  1. I used to be on 11 when they were still at leeming, they moved the lightening to the new build 11 site at conningsby near the qra sheds I think?

     

    I'm hoping to get posted to conningsby from brize soonish!

     

    Real RAF boys drive GM's ;)

  2. My idle is a tad lower than that but she is due a service. The idle is quite rough at times, you can feel the engine rocking.

     

    It is overdue a service so hopefully some ew oil and plugs should improve things.

  3. Just drove 120 miles from work back to wales, whenever i came to a stop there is definately an oil smell, i dont appear to be using any oil but it is still concerning and i get paranoid... not my fault my last car was a fiar coupe!

     

    The oil pressure did drop slightly yesterday but it was scorchio. What is the standard idle speed for UK cars?

  4. The last weeke or so there has been a smell of burning oil coming from the car whenever i come to a stop after driving. I've had the plenum off after dropping a washer into the filler about two days after the smell started.

     

    I first noticed the smell after topping the oil up, the oil was definately not overfilled as i was very carefull to add it in stages. There are no obvious leaks, drips or wet patches so im a bit lost. Has anyone else ever had any problems like this?

     

    It is definately an oil smell, so im ruling out clutch/coolant.

  5. Does anyone happen to know the part numbers for the following;

     

    Oil filter, sump plug crush washer, transmission fill and drain washers.

     

    If i can get hold of these i was thinking of putting together a list of part numbers for serivce items as im sure others would find the information usefull.

     

    Cheers,

  6. I'm due a service on the car, the 54,000 p2 in my case. Having phoned around i've had prices ranging from £217.15 to £291.15. I would like to get the gearbox oil changed at the same time so that will no doubt push the cost up by about £40.

     

    I'm confident in my mechanical ability and have done quite a lot of mechanical jobs on the cars i have owned so im thinking of servicing the car myself. All in i think i could do it for about £150 thats with Sikolene Pro S and Denso IKH16's which are no doubt an upgrade to the standard items.

     

    My question is this does anyone know of or can reccomend an alternative the the Nissan Coolant and Transmission oil? I know Nissan use a 70w-85w ATF but there are loads of aftermarket alternatives.

     

    Any help would be appreciated.
